Bright Beautiful beach theme home walking distance to Lake Michigan & downtown!

We are delighted that you both enjoyed your stay and found our pricing satisfactory!

Glad the driveway parking worked out for your truck and boat. You were an excellent guest and left the unit in great condition! Please come see us again.

Aww thank you! That is so nice of you. You were wonderful guests! Welcome back anytime.

Thanks Tom! Come see us again!

Thanks for the 5 star review Jeremy. Come see us again anytime.

Thank you for the 5 star review! Hope you will consider us again in the future!

Awesome review Mary! It was wonderful having your family stay with us in Manistee! We hope you made so many memories together! Come see us again. You're welcome anytime!

Thank you for the lovely review Theresa! It was a pleasure having you both as our guests! We are so glad you enjoyed beautiful Manistee and all it has to offer. It truly is magical here. Please come see us again soon! Take care.

The porch swings and fireplace are one of our favorites too! We are so glad you enjoyed your family vacation at the Front Porch Cottage! Please come see us again!

You guys were incredible guests and it was a pleasure talking with you. I think it's so cool you came for the race. If you ever find yourselves back in Michigan and looking for a place to stay we would love to host you again! Safe travels!

I was so glad you all found the place to be a good fit for your fishing tournament! And thank you for sharing the awesome pictures with us of your daily catches from Lake Michigan! It definitely made us smile. Please come back and see us again!

Hi Barbara, I'm sorry you were disappointed with the kitchen size and only having 2 chairs for the table. The pictures provided on the listing accurately shows the size and layout of the kitchen so that you can decide ahead of time if the space will work for you before booking. I'm glad you felt the sleeping arrangements provided plenty of space and that you otherwise enjoyed your visit with us at the Front Porch Cottage. I would like to suggest looking into our Back Porch cottage for any future visits as that unit has a table space large enough that it can accommodate 4 chairs! Best wishes!

You were a great point of contact for the guests that were still able to come stay at the Front porch cottage in Manistee. I still feel bad you had to miss out due to Covid but glad to hear you're feeling better already! Would definitely love for you to consider us again in the future! It was a pleasure working through the special details of your reservation. Until next time!!

Thank you for taking the time to review the Front Porch Cottage Jessica! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and your time in Manistee! We look forward to seeing you again in the future and appreciate all your feedback. I want to mention we have a "Back Porch cottage" on this property as well that is away from the road and has alittle more outdoor space for the littles. If you are interested in looking at that option for next time just let me know! I want to make sure you find total relaxation in your next trip out! Take care until next time!

Thanks for the review Gregory! We already sent someone up to the property yesterday to take a look at the hot water heater so thanks for letting us know about the concern. The rods can go bad quickly in areas with hard water and I suspect that might be the issue as this is the first we've heard of hot water running out for our guests. We acquired the property in November 2022 and put most of the efforts into the inside of the units before the season started. The decks are definitely next! Excited to get started on them this fall! We hope you and your family will come back again to stay at Turtle Stone!

Disappointing? That's not the kind of feedback we aim to receive. I truly wish your communication had matched your review, allowing us to work together to create a more enjoyable experience. I can only assist when made aware of issues during your stay. The six nights you stayed were extremely hot and humid as you yourself pointed out, which undoubtedly put a strain on the AC. Our listing accurately depicts the AC setup, including the use of window units and the absence of central air. Our cleaning crew is exceptional. If you had informed me about any overlooked fans, the situation would have been promptly addressed. After the box fan was delivered, I was unaware of any ongoing discomfort. The orange room with twin beds features hangers and hanging storage shelves in the closet for clothing. The master bedroom includes closet space and a folding luggage rack for your bag. I apologize if you didn't find it in the closet for your use. I'm delighted to hear you found the location, parking, keyless entry, host communication, hot water, and kitchen satisfactory. I hope you found some enjoyment in the amenities on the front porch. We love enjoying the porch swings and gas fireplace at night when we stay at the property ourselves.

You were such a great guest. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our property. Please come see us again if you find yourself in Manistee!
